This neatly highlights the problem with the entire “diversity” imperative: how can you celebrate diversity when one of the groups included adheres to an ideology that is radically intolerant and hateful? If you don’t include them, you aren’t “diverse.” If you do include them, another group is going to suffer, and thus you aren’t “diverse.” The Berlin police have chosen the latter alternative.
“Al-Quds day recorded in the ‘Diversity Calendar’ of the Berlin police,” translated from “Al-Kuds-Tag in „Vielfalts-Kalender“ der Berliner Polizei verzeichnet,” Junge Freiheit, January 3, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
BERLIN. The Berlin police have recorded the anti-Israel Al Quds Day in their “Calendar of Diversity” 2022. As the Berliner Zeitung reports, the day proclaimed by the Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is on the calendar in a row with Christmas, the Jewish New Year and the Hindu Festival of Lights.
During the Al-Quds March in Berlin, anti-Semitic and Islamist slogans have been chanted over and over again in recent years. Al-Quds Day is celebrated annually on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The rally was canceled in the past two years. Whether it will take place this year is still an open question.
Beck: Calendar has to be withdrawn and revised
“The diversity calendar is actually a good idea, but the Al-Quds day in the diversity calendar is a serious mistake and the opposite of diversity competence,” criticized the Green politician Volker Beck to the newspaper. Beck is the managing director of the Tikvah Institute, which campaigns against anti-Semitism. Al-Quds Day is a “day of hatred and agitation.” Israel-hatred and anti-Semitism should not be accepted as part of diversity. The calendar must be withdrawn and revised immediately.
Around 26,000 Berlin police officers can download the “Diversity Calendar” from the intranet. The police have not yet commented on the allegations. (ls)

Considering its history Germany might be expected to show a little “extra” sensitivity to overt anti-Semitism and calls for the annihilation of Jews. Alas, that may not be the case. I wonder why it isn’t?

Diversity….once existed. Each country had its own special atmosphere. Each country with a long history, had special customs, its own special foods, dance, music, culture. One could expect to see something that was really different from their own home country when visiting other nations and getting to know the people and the ways they lived.
Now, mozlums are everywhere and nothing is *different* from where one might live to where that one may travel or visit.
Everywhere, mozlums whine, complain, lie, sue, steal, shout their nasty phrase of dominance and threat, rape and murder in the name of their fake ‘god’ and false ‘prophet.’
To one degree or another, every nation has become mozlumized and the same things are happening everywhere….foods served must be what mozlums want to eat, music and art are being destroyed, conversations are being silenced if they are anywhere near the Truth about islam and the evil filth of the unholy book,
The more “diverse” these idiots make things wherever they are, the less diverse they are becoming as they conform to what mozlums demand things be done in order to appease them.

Germany: Berlin police put anti-Semitic Al-Quds Day on their ‘Diversity Calendar’
……………..
What’s more indicative of “diversity” than wanting to destroy civilized Israel and commit genocide of the Jews? Moral insanity. I just hope they have no idea what “Al-Quds Day” actually means.

European-style anti-Semitism runs deep. It doesn’t take much for it to raise its ugly head. Muslims can hardly be blamed for bringing anti-Semitism to Germany though they certainly help it along.
WPM says
Moslems can be blamed from making it the new normal in much of western Europe. Most anti-Semitic attacks and violence in the last 40 years has been the new Moslem invaders with little or no involvement from “far right” groups in Europe. The far left seems to have a love affair with the Moslem jihad mob because not only are they anti-Semitic, they are anti-Christian ,anti-western cultural, anti-capitalist .Anyone pointing out Islam deep hatred of the Jews or Christians, or western cultural is called a racist bigot ,and can lose his job if he works for any government civil servant job in much of western Europe because of their “hate speech” laws. You can be arrested and hounded and jailed like Tommy Robinson for pointing out the truth. The master religion Islam will used violence in Europe or Asia or Africa or North America ,that has nothing to do with past anti-Semitic acts done in those countries by Europe leaders in the past centuries. Can you point out terror acts directed against Jews anywhere in the world in the last 40 years that have not involved Islam ?I am sure there are few ,Islam hate of Jews has not grown less in the last 1400 years not matter were Moslem lives be it in Europe, Asia or North America, ,or Africa. Even the lack of Jews in the country the Moslems lives in can not stop their leaders from proclaiming anti-Semitic speeches from political speeches. Blaming Jews for every ill that befalls them, from crop failures, pest invasions, inflation ,to bad weather.

This is sadly true, Rarely–but the fact is that almost all the cases of Jews being threatened and assaulted come from Muslims these days, not native Europeans.

True GI. However, the unwillingness of the authorities to seriously combat anti-Semitism is not surprising in light of European history on the subject. They may not actively support anti-Semitism but show little enthusiasm to stand against it. When push comes to shove one should not be surprised at who western Europe would shove under the bus.
Jm says
Islam is not a European religion, and not a German one, and Germany should have German and European holidays, not Muslim ones. That is obvious, but politically incorrect. We are supposed to respect other people’s religion and culture. And that means appeasement. But that is dumb. Would the Palestinians be satisfied if Israel held some Muslim holidays, or broadcast the call to prayer 5 times a day, or included Muslim prayer rooms in Churches and Synagogues. Obviously not. Germany needs to wake up and see the danger of appeasement to any foreign Ideology, whether Muslim or Chinese or Russian or whatever threatens democracy and fredom.
Walter Sieruk says
Many government officials of Germany must have have really caved in to the pressure on then by the Islamic power organizations in the country.
On the other hand it just might the accepting of under the table bribes from Muslims from countries as Saudi Arabia.
